Alchemic Cutie News

Hey there Cutie Club,

We small update with some fixes and an update on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation shipping dates.

Nintendo Switch & PlayStation Shipping Updates

The shipping dates for both platforms slipped a little bit as we had a few bumps in the road going through final platform certification 😅

Switch has been fully certified and has gone to manufacturing and shipping now. We’re hoping for PlayStation to finish certification this week (1 annoying bug has been hard to squash) and it will go straight to manufacturing and shipping.

Update 1.3.2

We skipped 1.3.1 to combined everything into a 1.3.2 update. The update is mainly focused on bug fixes and performance improvements based on completing the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation versions of the game.

Improvements

• A lot of performance improvements!
  
• Hidden Power achievement now just requires a total level of 75
  
• Shiny Shaver now just requires 10,000 crystals
  

Fixes

• Fixed Caught Them All not unlocking through item effects
  
• Fixed wild jellies unlocking the Hidden Power achievement
  
• Fixed Jelly getting stuck transforming when trait decreases relic meter
  
• Fixed hover texture issue on bottom HUD buttons
  
• Fixed JellyQuickInfo not clearing on unfocus
  
• Fixed birds getting stuck while landing

Jelly Codes

Want to share a Jelly with a friend? We’ve introduced Jelly Codes – a 32 character passcode for trading jellies.



Bring your Jelly to Gabby and she can take your Jelly and give you a code in return. If your friend gave you a code, Gabby can take that code and give you a Jelly in return.

Jelly Names

Many players wanted to give different names to Jellies. We’ve now added a hotkey to rename your Jelly.



Permanent Jellies + Jelly Relics

We had a lot of requests from players who wanted to keep some of their Jellies forever. In this update, we’ve changed how the Jelly Relic system works to allow you to decide which Jellies will turn into relics.



Jellies will no longer automatically turn into relics as you feed them items. Instead, when their relic meter is full, the Jellies will sparkle. Playing your flute 3 times on a sparkling Jelly will turn them into a relic.

Jelly Traits

Now that the relic system has changed, we had to change how the trait system worked. Now when a Jelly trait activates, the relic meter will decrease.

We also had to update several traits to match these changes; so make sure to read your notebook.

Hey there Cutie Club,

We've released a small patch that fixes a crash on the quest details page when viewing a specific quest.

If you find any other issues, post them in the discussions :-)

Hey there Cutie Club,

We've pushed a small patch that fixes a crash on one of the quest details pages and improves frame rate on older PCs.

As always if you find any issues be sure to let us know! :-)

Hey there Cutie Club,

We have a lot of new features, improvements and fixes in our latest Update 1.2. Take a look…

Jelly Color Breeding & Mixing



We have added in another 32 colours for our Jellies totaling a number of 64 colors!

Jelly colors will now combine if you breed different color jellies. Use Smooch Blooms to make two jellies fall in love and watch the color mixing unfold.

Also, each Jelly now will poop their retrospective colored jelly beans. So if you see some colored beans in the wild you might find a color you haven’t caught yet 👀

Item Delivery Improvements



We have updated the Item Delivery schedule. You now have the whole season to complete all 4 deliveries at your own pace.

Once you complete an item delivery you can collect the reward and the following delivery item list will be available.

If you complete all 4 Item Deliveries for that season, Gabby will reward you with a Unique Item… 👀 Don’t worry if you have completed all 4 shipments for previous seasons before updating. You will be rewarded with the new Unique Items for those season(s) when you continue your save.

Wild Jelly Info



The first trait of a Wild Jelly will always appear when you charm them. It’s also possible to see the other traits and stats of a Jelly before you catch them. But you’ll need a Jelly with a certain trait in your backpack for that… 🙃
